You are about to begin a fascinating historical and geographical journey. It features sights and attractions that were part of George Washington's life when he lived and worked along the Potomac in the later part of the eighteenth century. The journey follows a section of one of the Nation's most famous rivers-the Potomac as it plunges over Great Falls and then races through Mather Gorge and on past Little Falls to the Tidewater section upon which Mount Vernon is located.
This guide is constructed considering sites, places, and activities associated with George Washington, the first President of the United States.
Our objective is to use these associations as a framework that shows the places that were part of his life and further reveals what life was like during the late colonial and early national periods of American history.
This captivating history book covers topics such as:
You'll learn how his early fame as a hero of the French and Indian War, and his illustrious marriage to a wealthy widow, led to this farm boy becoming one of the most important men in Virginia, a delegate at the Continental Congress where the Founders of America gathered to decide the nation's fate.
The first guardian of American liberty looks serene in his portraits, but he didn't always rise above the fray. Washington fought for what he believed in, and his political convictions shocked contemporaries like Thomas Jefferson. Do you know what kind of country George Washington wanted America to be?
